文摘In this data explosion era,ensuring the secure storage,access,and transmission of information is imperative,encom-passing all aspects ranging from safeguarding personal devices to formulating national information security strategies.Leverag-ing the potential offered by dual-type carriers for transportation and employing optical modulation techniques to develop high reconfigurable ambipolar optoelectronic transistors enables effective implementation of information destruction after read-ing,thereby guaranteeing data security.In this study,a reconfigurable ambipolar optoelectronic synaptic transistor based on poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)and poly[[N,N-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-napthalene-1,4,5,8-bis(dicarboximide)-2,6-diyl]-alt-5,5′-(2,2′-bithiophene)](N2200)blend film was fabricated through solution-processed method.The resulting transistor exhib-ited a relatively large ON/OFF ratio of 10^(3) in both n-and p-type regions,and tunable photoconductivity after light illumination,particularly with green light.The photo-generated carriers could be effectively trapped under the gate bias,indicating its poten-tial application in mimicking synaptic behaviors.Furthermore,the synaptic plasticity,including volatile/non-volatile and excita-tory/inhibitory characteristics,could be finely modulated by electrical and optical stimuli.These optoelectronic reconfigurable properties enable the realization of information light assisted burn after reading.This study not only offers valuable insights for the advancement of high-performance ambipolar organic optoelectronic synaptic transistors but also presents innovative ideas for the future information security access systems.

文摘Arsenic and cadmium contamination frequently coexist in the real environment.However it remains a challenge for their simultaneous removal due to their distinct physicochemica properties at low cost.To this end,a cost-effective magnetic biochar adsorbent (ITBNa800was prepared using biomass waste and iron tailings slag.This composite adsorbent exhibits excellent performance in the simultaneous removal of aqueous As(Ⅴ) and Cd(Ⅱ) even at high concentrations with removal efficiencies of up to 99.98%and 96.04%,respectively.Electro static action,precipitation,and complexation were adsorption mechanisms.As(Ⅴ) and Cd(Ⅱ were synergistic and competitive adsorption.As(Ⅴ) removal was mainly due to physical and chemical adsorption,and 42.40%-58.59%of As(Ⅴ) had been converted to As(Ⅲ ).Cd(Ⅱ) re moval was mainly due to chemical adsorption.Iron oxide and aluminum oxide in ITBNa800were the keys to As(Ⅴ),As(Ⅲ ),and Cd(Ⅱ) adsorption.DFT calculations revealed iron oxide complex As(Ⅴ),As(Ⅲ ),and Cd(Ⅱ) molecular clusters through bidentate binuclear,bidentate binuclear,and monodentate binuclear pathways,respectively.Aluminum oxide complex Cd(Ⅱ) molecular cluster through a bidentate mononuclear pathway.We hope the ITBNa800adsorbent and its involved mechanism could offer inspiration in the simultaneous treat ment of As and Cd pollution.

文摘BACKGROUND The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer continue to rise.For early-stage colorectal cancer,endoscopic resection has become a preferred or important treatment option due to its significant advantages in operative time,extent of trauma,and medical costs.However,increasing lesion diameter significantly elevates the technical difficulty of endoscopic resection.Currently,robust evidence-based evidence regarding the upper size limit for safely and effectively resecting lesions endoscopically remains lacking.AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic resection for colorectal lesions≥30 mm in diameter.METHODS This retrospective study reviewed data from 102 patients who underwent endoscopic resection for colorectal lesions measuring≥30 mm in diameter at General Hospital of Northern Theater Command between January 2023 and July 2024.RESULTS Among 102 patients who underwent endoscopic resection,99 received endoscopic submucosal dissection and 3 underwent endoscopic full-thickness resection.Four patients(3.9%)required conversion to surgical radical resection postoperatively.All patients exhibited favorable wound healing at the resection sites,and no long-term complications were observed during the 3-month postoperative colonoscopy follow-up.The primary perioperative complication was post-endoscopic submucosal dissection electrocoagulation syndrome(PEECS)(24/102,23.5%).Multivariate analysis identified lesion location in the transverse colon as an independent risk factor for PEECS occurrence(odds ratio=6.734,95%confidence interval:1.623-27.945,P=0.009).CONCLUSION Large colorectal lesion diameter does not constitute an absolute contraindication to endoscopic resection.Experienced endoscopic centers can achieve complete resection with a favorable efficacy and safety profile.Notably,lesion location in the transverse colon is identified as an independent risk factor for PEECS.

文摘Nanofiltration(NF)membranes with exceptional ion selectivity and permeability are needed for the recovery of lithium from waste lithium-ion batteries.Herein,inspired by the homogeneous microchannels in the skeletal structure of glass sponges,an innovative biomimetic sponge-like sub-nanostructured NF membrane was designed using an alkali-induced MXene(AMXene)-ethyl formate(EF)-induced bulk/interfacial diffusion decoupling strategy to simultaneously improve Li^(+)/Co^(2+)selectivity and membrane permeability.The Li^(+)/Co^(2+)separation factor(SLi,co=24)of the engineered membrane was improved by an order of magnitude compared to that of an NF270 membrane(SLi,Co=2).The selectivity of Mg^(2+)/Na+(B_(NaCl)/B_(MgCl_(2))=286)and SO_(4)^(2-)/Cl^(-)(BNaCl/BNaSO_(4)=941)increased by 3~12 times,and the permeability(25.8 L m-2 h-1 bar-1)remained at a desirable level,beyond the current upper bound of the other cutting-edge membranes.The superior performance was attributed to the limited release of amine in bulk phase and the boosted interfacial diffusion by reducing interfacial energy barrier during the interfacial polymerization reaction,which were realized via the synergetic effects of AMXene and EF.This approach yielded a biomimetic sponge-like sub-nanostructured NF membrane with controlled homogeneous pore radii(0.202 nm)and a thickness as small as 16.08 nm,which led to high ion selectivity and permeability.The engineered membrane was capable of efficient separation and recovery of Li^(+)/metal ions.
文摘BACKGROUND Patients undergoing interventional therapy for liver cancer experience severe psychological pain and are prone to anxiety and depression.AIM To explore factors influencing anxiety and depression symptoms in 200 patients diagnosed with primary liver cancer.METHODS Data from 200 individuals diagnosed with primary liver cancer and admitted to the authors’hospital(January 2022 to January 2024)were divided into 2 groups according to psychological status:Normal(n=100);and anxiety and depression(n=100).Through a questionnaire survey of patients and their families,single and multifactor factors of anxiety and depression in the postoperative interven-tional treatment of patients with primary liver cancer were analyzed.RESULTS Univariate analysis revealed no statistical differences between the 2 groups in terms of chronic disease,sex,liver function,Child grade,and age(P>0.05).How-ever,there were statistical differences in payment method,disease cognition,number of interventional treatments,per capita income,and educational level(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that educational level,per capita income,disease cognition,payment method,and number of interven-tional treatments were all independent factors influencing postoperative anxiety and depression symptoms after interventional therapy in patients diagnosed with primary liver cancer,and the comparisons were statistically significant(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Analysis of associated risk factors can strengthen the clinical screening of patients with liver cancer at high risk for postoperative anxiety and depression symptoms and improve their prognosis.

文摘Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)have garnered extensive attention as the promising energy storage technology owing to their high safety,cost-effectiveness,and environmental friendliness.Nevertheless,their practical application is hindered by critical challenges,including Hydrogen evolution reactions(HER)and non-uniform Zn deposition,which compromise electrochemical performance and cycling stability.Herein,we propose a multifunctional hybrid electrolyte additive consisting of vanillin and Dimethyl sulfoxide,designed to weaken the interaction between Zn^(2+)and H_(2)O molecules,effectively modulating the solvation shell structure.In situ optical microscopy shows the hybrid additive significantly suppresses HER and promotes Zn^(2+)deposition on the(002)plane,inhibiting dendritic growth.The Zn||Zn symmetric cells with hybrid additive exhibit exceptional cycling stability,achieving over 4000 h at 1.0 mA cm^(-2)/1.0 m A h cm^(-2).The research on hybrid additives presents significant potential for exploration,offering a promising approach to the development of durable AZIBs.
